Funded by the Employment Policies Institute

The Employment Policies Institute is a nonprofit research organization dedicated to

expanding employment opportunities at all levels of America's economy. In particular, EPI

believes that entry-level positions often provide the best job-training and education programs that

many Americans, especially young Americans and those seeking to move from welfare to work,

can have. By ensuring that these entry-level positions are always plentiful, EPI believes

America can make substantial improvements in both unemployment and long-term worker

productivity.

INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY

Frederick/Schneiders conducted 751 telephone interviews betweenJanuary 31 through February 5, 1992 with Americans over age 18 whocurrently or in the past have held positions in hotels or restaurants inwhich gratuities were a "significant portion" of compensation. Thehouseholds contacted were drawn on a random basis that wouldaccurately reflect the geographic and demographic distribution ofhouseholds in the continental United States. Interviewers spoke withanyone in the contacted households who qualified for the sample (i.e.,had worked in a "tipped" position).

The purpose of the survey was to determine attitudes toward tippedhospitality employment by individuals who had held those positions.Specifically, we explored the relevance of those jobs to thedevelopment of important work skills identified by the (Labor)Secretary's Commission On Achieving Necessary Skills (SCANS).

Accompanying this analytical report are a master questionnairereflecting the data from the entire sample and a cross-tabular reportwhich displays that data by thirty-nine geographic, demographic,work-related, and atttudinal subgroups. The margin of sampling errorfor the entire sample is 3.5% at the 95% confidence level: thesampling error for subsets is larger.

ILGENERAL VIEWS OF "TIPPED" HOSPITALL. I POSITIONS

Nine-out-of-ten (93%) of these current or former hospitality workersare "glad (to have had) the experience of working in a restaurant orhotel for tips." Current tipped employees are just as likely (94%) asformer tipped employees (93%) to appreciate the experience. Thishigh level of satisfaction is found across the board regardless of age,education, or current position or income.

DK (4%)
